Connecting an AWG

Use the Extended Module Configuration dialog to connect FlexDCA to a Keysight M8194/5/6A Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG). You can connect the AWG using a SICL or VISA connection. The steps used to make the connection depend on whether your AWG's AXIe chassis includes an Embedded Controller (ECM) module. Click on one of the following links to view detailed installation steps for making a Flex-on-SFP Connection:

Example AWG LAN Address Strings
Using SICL Address VISA Address
AWG hostname lan,4880;hislip[WINDOWS-6ISM873]:hislip0 TCPIP0::WINDOWS-6ISM873::hislip0::INSTR
AWG IP address lan,4880;hislip[10.113.25.62]:hislip0 TCPIP0::10.113.25.62::hislip0::INSTR
localhost lan,4880;hislip[localhost]:hislip0 TCPIP0::localhost::hislip0::INSTR
Note: You can use localhost if FlexDCA is running on the AWG's AXIe Embedded Controller module.
